LEGEND NEVER DIES !!



This post might be little late in the day, but it doesn't matter. Ever since announcing their comeback , two of my greatest sporting Idols, Lance Armstrong and Michael Schumacher have commanded lot of space in the leading dailies and magazines around the world . And why shouldn't they, after all they are giants of their respective sports. Everything that they do has tremendous news value.




Lot of people have told me that it isn't right, they shouldn't have. But if you ask me, there's nothing wrong in it. I am a firm believer that mind never grows old, as long as you think you've still got it, and you can get inspired, there's no reason why mind can't push the boundaries of physical capabilities.




The very fact that these two supermen left at the top of their sporting career, with nothing more to prove, shows that it isn't about winning one more race. With sheer power of their invincibility, they have immortalized their names in the annals of global sports .




Look what Lance Armstrong's come back has done to the viewership of Tour De France 09 in America. Everyone wanted to know how Lance is preparing, how is he going to motivate himself against far younger, supremely fit rivals in the most gruelling race in the sport of cycling. And boy! he didn't disappointment..... Did he ? Staying out for over three years and then coming and occupying 3rd place on the podium at Champs - Elysees..... Dream stuff !




What can I say about Michael and his racing, that hasn't already been said. Behind the wheels, inside that mean Scarlett car, he looks like a red devil, in a class of his own. Just like Lance, he is a demigod , one of the greatest driver of all time. Whether he wins one more race or not, it doesn't really matter. I am very sure, come race day, every other driver would be pumped up seeing him seated in that Ferrari on the starting grid.




LEGENDS NEVER DIE.......................THEY INSPIRE OTHERS. ONE HELPS IN CREATING ANOTHER. I QUOTE NEIL ARMSTRONG - FIRST MAN TO STEP ON THE MOON-" As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember". NEED I SAY MORE.

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE !!






Withering like a broken yellow leaf


lying on a dusty road, there I was


Waiting for the wind to blow me away


lying still , there I was


hope isn't for me,


breathing my last, there I was.





Could barely open my eye’s,


all I could see was grey skies.


Wanted to stand,


but couldn't even crawl


wanted to yell,


but all I could see was doors of hell.







Just when I thought all hope’s gone


And there's nothing left to lose


I heard a voice from above


Someone called my name


Bending over me I saw a slender frame


So beautiful, so divine


At last I could see princess of mine.






She lifted me up, slow and gentle


caressed me the way only she could


the worse is over, she said


I am never going to leave


there is so much more still left


a brand new world we have to weave .

TIMELESS ODYSSEY !...........LIFE WELL SHARED !!


Life is a journey, that takes us through all kinds of places, all kinds of situations. Life tells us that more than the destination, the real excitement lies in the journey. Because that's where, we discover a whole new meaning with every little step that we take.


There's no better place than the pages of ICONIC READER'S DIGEST to learn about life's journey, about real people and their real stories. Stories about the triumph of great human spirit.... to never say die , to battle against all odds, to never give up hope. Stories which will tell you that Life isn't just about winning, it is also about being a good loser. It's not about me and myself alone, it's also about them.


In today's mad scramble, to win at all cost, to out do one another, sometimes we forget the essence of life. We forget to stop, think, care and share. We forget to cry, to laugh and to make others laugh .


Slow it down I say............stop chasing that mirage.It's a cruel desert out there, and oasis few and far between .


When mind's confused, body starts to give in, pick-up that copy of The Digest, and I promise you, you just might find your answers............you might find yourself standing in front of a new door....who knows.


LONG LIVE THE READER'S DIGEST !!

PUNDIT, PENCIL N PAPER !!







We all have it my friends............all it takes is few sparks to ignite the fire . A little bit of time, little bit of inspiration. It surely is an uncharted territory and I am loving it.

STARS X ZILLION !!


Stars are shining bright tonight


Look up my dear, it's all up there


It’s all happening tonight.




They are singing our songs


Swaying to the beats of heaven


There’s something about tonight


Which makes me feel so right


Looks like we rule the sky


O yes! We do, you and me


We own the sky tonight




Stars are shining bright tonight


Look up my dear, it's all up there


It’s all happening tonight.
